CVE-2024-0886Public exploit

Application crash via oversized activation key

Published Jan 25, 2024 · Updated Sep 12, 2024

Denial of service in Poikosoft EZ CD Audio Converter 8.0.7 allows local users to crash the application through its Activation Handler. The public proof of concept fills the activation Key field with 10,000 repeated bytes, which the handler processes without rejecting the oversized value. Exploitation requires local interactive access to the activation dialog and interrupts only the application process.
